The number of homeless female veterans has tripled in the last ten years and that number continues to rise at an alarming rate as more women enter military service.
PROJECT HOME: THE HIDDEN TRUTH
Funding for the completion of one housing unit means that one more American Hero can begin her journey back to independence and restored self-pride.
When completed, Genesis will offer the first and only transitional housing facility in Middle GA dedicated to the unique and complicated needs of our homeless female veteran population, who are four times more likely to become homeless than a male veteran.
This three building facility will have studio apartments, a laundry room, group kitchen and an education/fellowship hall. A donation from you would help us finish this facility so that we can continue to help our country's female veterans who are struggling to assimilate back to civilian life.
Genesis Joy House is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides resources to female veterans that are homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless. Right now, we are in the finishing stages of completing construction of a transitional housing facility that will serve homeless female veterans in the state of GA.
